Cool advert! Have an awesome time guys!
Badonk!
Getting a Stomp tomorrow. I really really hope it will come updated because I read about how stressful it is to install all of the drivers and updates and I myself absolutely hate computers. Am hopeful I will be able to take it somewhere to get it updated if it doesn’t arrive up to date. I am also hopeful I can use the line outs to record it save using USB and DAWs. I have an interface that I use for all my synth stuff so hopefully I can record this in the same way.
There's nothing stressful at all about the process. Simply following the update instructions on Line 6's site has never failed me in all the years I've been updating Helix devices.
@@NickHillMakesMusic appreciate the encouragement. I may see if someone technical who owns a computer can do it then thanks.
I just commented on someone else's channel that I have a Squier Franken-Jazz Bass I leave at my rehearsal studio. The thing sounds and feels great. It has a Vintage Modern Jazz Bass body with a maple Paranormal Jazz Bass neck. I replaced the pickups with a set of DiMarzio Model J pickups, installed new electronics, and put brass saddles on it. I also put a set of Gibson style Top Hat Volume and Tone nobs on it. I was actually trying to go for that 1970's Made in Japan Fender copy look. High-end guitars are great however, you don't need a high-end guitar to play great.
How are you adding the "mixer" block? I can't seem to figure that out
what i do not understand, i have a helix, i have had an xr18 and i now have a cq20b, and it sounds a fair bit better through that, i have ekx1p speakers, so pretty good speakers, i have a dbx pa 2 driverack which again adds so much to the sound, but it will never sound like as good as it seems to sound direct to an audio interface....why is that? its so thick and dynamic through audio interfaces, why does it not sound the same through a pa!! whhhyy.
You ALWAYS have to build presets for the use case. You need to develop tones for live use. I have specific tones for live vs what I record with.
Why did you not PLAY the dang thing?! Jeeeeez
Finalmente alguém que sabe tocar, usando esse pedal. Esse monte de worshipeiro deixa tudo com mesmo som bosta
This is funny to test 'sound difference' in strings when played with so much distortion
Luckily enough, I played everything clean as well. Plus, I like writing and playing so why wouldn't I put heavy riffing in it as well. Hopefully my next string comparison lives up to the harsh and stringent acceptable parameters for your liking. All jokes aside, I always appreciate a watch and a comment. It feeds the algorithm the same way.
I just bought a whole big auction lot with many Squier guitars/basses in it. Although I have more luxurious instruments here in my shop... I was able to get each of them setup and playing well for the next guy. For youth to learn on... or for someone who wants to try guitar/bass as a rookie... it's a very usable tool.
Love this!
@@NickHillMakesMusic Thank you. I do a LOT of buy/sell/trade... and every instrument that passes through my doors leaves better than it arrived.
The amp used by meshuggah from the pod era is the big bottom, fairly usable still nowaday (you can check buster odeholm use tath amp for vildjharta tone) and the badonk is the newest version of it. Meshuggah used it on catch 33. Another thing.... In every meshuggah tone video you can see people crank the mid in the amp, this is the first video where I see them scooped... Had to try
Thank you for your review, and I do like Squier, and I have had a few different Classic Vibe Precision and Jazz basses, and I have changed out pickup’s, Capacitors, potentiometers etc. I ended up selling them because I didn’t like the color they had to offer. I would buy it and try to convince myself that I was just fine with the color, but that is the the furthest thing from the truth. What a crook of crap. I was full of my own sh#t! Anyway I can ramble on forever. I am officially worse than my mother! God bless her for putting up with me. I am pretty sure I am going to buy a Jaguar w/ the burst. I already have a Fender Jaguar, but I don’t have that pickup configuration or the concentric volume and tone potentiometers. Gorgeous bass!
I know a guy whos played with Aretha Franklin, Sting etc. His go to comfort bass is a Squire Precison. I have a Squire Jazz that cost me £200 Dont need to spend over 3000 again.
Just came over from your other video with the green/blue T body with Warmoth neck. This 1 looks really sweet. I'm in love with partscaster because it's just easier getting pieces and making what I like. Have a few Fender Squires/Starcaster (yikes) . Did 2 and about to make my 3rd but no baritone mods. Looking to rectify that. Thank you bro
Great video man, thinking about purchasing one….do you have any advice on intonation and setting up the saddles for that…or does the evertune self intonate as well ?
I was a union stagehand on the Las Vegas Strip19 years ago. I set up the stage for Crosby Stills & Nash for a show (Crosby had a Dumble!) and asked their guitar tech what guitars they were using. Squiers with Lindy Fralin pickups.
Many thanks dear Nick! It is amazing preset. im missing the sl-avatar . Should I need to install whole Ny studios 1 sdx?
I have several 2k+ dollar basses, including a USA Jazz, Warwick Thumb, Custom made graphite neck (Jazz bass style). One day at the music shop picked up a Squire 50s precision as wall art for under 200 bucks. I used it to do some jamming at a friends place and was so impressed with the neck feel, that I kept working with it... I switched the pickup with a 50's Seymour Duncan, set it up good, and It's now my number 1 recording and playing bass... The tone is crazy good.
Just purchased it, and really like how dynamic is it and at the same time pushes you to carve out that gnarlyness from base. Tried it on squier precission and gl l-2500, and humbuckers on gl gives me a propper results! Anyway thnx for awesome preset!
Stoked it's working for you. Thanks for the support!
I am so blessed. I have an Arcade poly'd roasted maple neck on a Fender "Hendrix" body (HSH), an all Warmoth VR Flying V (HSH), an all Warmoth Diamondback (HH) with Dimarzio Super Distortions and a guitar synth in it, a Harley Benton Prince Body with a Warmoth Tele neck (SSS) - and I still have more irons in the fire including wanting to finally get a Baritone conversion for a Jazzmaster body I have laying around though tune it like a Bass VI. The quality of Warmoth is top notch and as long as I'm alive and playing I'll likely always look to them first for new projects. I had a situation years ago where I spent SERIOUSLY stupid money on a customer instrument (one I'm still paying off) when I was disappointed in what I received. Typically if it's far out and I can't make it with Warmoth I question if I need it. There just isn't any reason for most people to buy something stupid and uncertain when you can get ball park with Warmoth and have a lifetime player.
I have a 2011 VM Special Jaguar Bass, also black, looks the exact same. Only thing I don't like is the boost circuit. I don't like having to put batteries in my guitars. I am thinking of modifying it to remove it.
Suena brutal , puedes compartir ese preset?
I just use the reject riffs and they end up sounding really good in the mix ..
great tone ...thanks.. what about mesuggah 's LEad tone??
Thanks for the video! I changed it a little, instead I boosted the depth and got the bass low. I swapped the exact settings compared to yours. Personally I like it a bit more like that, because I think the low end is somewhat tighter. And I used an Own Hammer IR and have the Djent High Gain and the V version.
I need to know Nick, what it is you whisper at 4:47 ? I love this!
First listen...fukn awesome! Just bumped into one of Nicks helix metal patch vids and quickly thought this guy knows whats up! A chill dude for sure
Did you paint it yourself?
Nope
Can this preset be used on the POD GO?
That’s amazing! What strings, tuning and pick ups are you using(bridge or neck)?
Tried this out really quickly with a Deluxe Reverb model in the Stomp, York Dexlue Reverb IR, 170 PowerStage into a closed back 1x12 and it sounded amazing.
Subscribed🤟🏼 anyone knows how to replicate a Snare we can hear in the songs by Def Leppard, RATT or similar?
hey man, thanks for sharing all this, i have a question, when I load your kit a message appears saying that SL-Avatar library is missed, is it normal?
thanks bro! gave me a great jumping off point for a punk tone I've been chasing. I'm looking to add the B7K for some grit afterwards
Would love to set this up on my PodGo, anyone know of any Darkglass patches or configs for that unit?
Ive had a squire 5 string jazz bass for 4 years and its outlasted my other basses in terms of use and tone
When you build a PC, you buy a bunch of parts, and they all click into place. We still refer to this as building a PC. Using this same logic I can conclude that buying a bunch of guitar parts and putting them together does qualify for building a guitar. I might be over analyzing it.
Awesome as always Nick!
Just use metrics and it's easy split rather than imperials which is invented by a drunken lobster and doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Relevant
I have a Squier mini P bass and I love it. It’s so fun to play. I’m gonna get the Squier Jaguar bass next.
So you can't run Helix native with the Apollo DSP to get good response? Did this change since 4 years ago?
No. You can only run Line 6 Helix Native on a Universal Audio Apollo. You can’t run anything other than Universal Audio plugins on Apollo DSP devices.
@@NickHillMakesMusic what about Luna - can you load Native there and get any benefit?
I used this tone for a show tonight and it was awesome. Thank you!
In Ampero mini it's real?
Minor Threat tone anyone?
JUST found this... keep up the good work! GRIND AWAY!!!!!
Nick, it's been 5 years bro. Helix has been updated like crazy. I'll donate IR's to your probably insane collection for updated videos with new shit you have learned since this came out.
Amen !!
Doesn’t sound bad but it also doesn’t sound like a dimed hm2 to me.
Well, it’s not “dimed,” so well done. You win :)
That low end isn't thin. It's actually incredible in my opinion. It's thigh and powerful. For the Dirty path, there is some kind of noise in the background that sound like a radio that is not tuned to a channel and without a mix or not in a band situation, annoy me a little bit, but at the same time, the front end of the that dirty path sound really really killer.
Hi Nick, Huge fan. I am wondering if this will work well with the line 6 Variax shuriken that is physically tuned to drop D, but digitally in a low tuning, I'm sure you are familiar with how the variax works. Thoughts?
